Guns in the Distance |
| 80 dead in a foreign place |
| 22 in the bombed foyer, there’s |
| Bloody hands, can you wash these stains? |
| For the times, can we stop this rage? |
| Watch the truth get indoctrinated |
| No money, no doctors for patients |
| Always money for bombs and not payslips |
| And the bullets, they keep you in slavery |
| Mother won’t get to kiss her child |
| Father won’t get to see her smile |
| Little hands, can you hold on tighter? |
| You saw death, now it’s in her eyes |
| Heard they want to see you misplaced, and |
| What the hell are we doin' to change things? |
| Politicians, can you see this pain? |
| 'Cause I can hear guns in the distance |
| And why don’t they listen |
| When a mother cries for her children? |
| Ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy |
| I can hear guns in the distance |
| And why don’t they listen |
| When a mother cries for her children? |
| Ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy |
| 95 in a boat found drownin' |
| 26 from a soldier’s gun, there’s |
| Too many kids, many open coffins |
| Tell me how all these wars been sponsored |
| Gettin' rich, tell me who gets paid |
| Little boy in the mornin' page |
| Do we mourn? |
| Do we learn his name? |
| Another lost in the pourin' rain |
| Do we try? |
| Do we try? |
| Do we fall back? |
| Little girl gettin' called by the food bank |
| Another mistake is sold through a new plan |
| Wonder awake and hope for the future |
| See who gets mentioned as your minutes hand ticks by |
| Tell me who gets sentenced as they commit violence at stateside |
| Old greedy men send boys time again out to the front line |
| Who’s a tyrant here? |
| Who’s a terrorist? |
| I’m seein' bloodlines |
| If love is a kingdom, this is a prison that we’re inside |
| And listen, child, go… |
| 'Cause I can hear guns in the distance |
| And why don’t they listen |
| When a mother cries for her children? |
| Ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy |
| I can hear guns in the distance |
| And why don’t they listen |
| When a mother cries for her children? |
| Ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy |
| Better we run, better we hide away |
| Forever we fall, we’re burnin' the sky away |
| They’ll never be young, they’ll never be ours again |
| Now, look what we’ve done |
| And look what we’ve left for them |
| Now, look what we’ve done |
| Look what we’ve left for them |
| Now, look what we’ve done |
| Look what we’ve left for them |
| Now, look what we’ve done |
| Look what we’ve left for them |
| I can hear guns in the distance |
| And why don’t they listen |
| When a mother cries for her children? |
| Ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy |
| I can hear guns in the distance |
| And why don’t they listen, why don’t they? |
| When a mother cries for her children? |
| Ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy |
| Ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy |
| Ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy |
| Ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy |
| Ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy-ooh-ayy |
| When a mother cries for her children |
